Is your house exploding with telephone pole posters of your favorite bands? Limited-edition Tara McPherson posters covering up every square inch of wallspace? I’ve got an event for you…
The Northwest History Network is holding a music conservation workshop this weekend. Chock-a-block with interesting discusions including, “How to Archive Paper Objects and Other Ephemera” and “What Sort of Information Should Be Included with Any Donation to a Historical Archive.” And it’s free!

What: Music Conservation Workshop
Where: Funky Door Cafe (2815 SE Holgate)
When: Saturday, November 18, 4-5 pm

More info: All ages, all styles welcome. Bring a few samples of your collection—photos, news clippings, posters, calendars, bar napkins, reel-to-reel and cassette tapes, CDs, 45 rpm and 33-1/3 rpm records, whatever. Trained historians will discuss such topics as “How to Deal with Reel-to-Reel ‘Sticky
Shed Syndrome,’” and more.
